Checked the level. It is fine. It is just below the lip of the filler plug. I guess when you use the Redline Lightweight Shockproof you use less than other oils? I'm going to run her hard tomorrow on the freeway and see if it "breathes" out anymore.

Thanks guys. I just ran the "dog" out of it on the freeway (140kmph) for a good 20 minutes...it leaked a little more. I'm going to put it up on 4 jack stands and check the level. I'll let you know how it turns out. www.cardomain.com/ride/835297

THANKS...appreciate the answer. I was "thinking" the same...just want to make sure. So is it due to the 75W-140 characteristics of the Redline Shockproof Lightweight gear oil? I used to have Mobil 1 75W-90 in it...and it never (in 4 years) breathed. Should I have a lower level of Lightweight Shockproof oil in it than I would using "normal" oil? Will it stop when the level gets down to a certain point?

Will it stop when the oil level is correct? I've seen some recommend 2.5 liters and others 3.5 liters. I filled it until it was dripping out of the filler. What does gl with it mean? Sorry...don't understand that.

I put in 3.5 liters. What does "a bit of a breathe" mean? Honestly, I don't understand that. I've owned it for 4 years and have changed the gb oil once before. Went with Mobil 1 75W90 at that time...no "breathe". Now I change with Redline Lightweight and it is pouring out of the vent tube. Thanks...

I know this is an old post (4 years)...but what ever came of this one? Does anybody know? Thanks...

No body has ever had this happen? Surely someone has? www.cardomain.com/ride/835297

94 R33 GTSt 5spd Manual. Just changed the gear oil with 3.5 liters of Redline Lightweight Shockproof (smurf blood). Shifts fine. After driving for approx 200 kilometers, I started smelling gear oil. I looked under the car and the tranny was covered with the smurf blood. I tracked down the source to the TOP FRONT of the tranny. There is a small metal tube that begins down near the end/bottom of the tranny and runs along the top and ends in the front. This tube is "dumping" out the smurfs blood. I cleaned the transmission fully. Took the car out for a test drive throughout some low speed roads. No leak. I then took the car on the freeway at 120kph for a solid 20 minutes. I started smelling the gear oil again. The "vent tube" is dumping out the smurfs blood again. ANY IDEAS? HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE? The tranny shifts fine. I didn't overfill; as soon as it began dripping out of the filler plug I stopped. The car was on 4 jack stands - level. HELP as I run this car on tracks here in the US and have an event coming up on 4 October 2008. I'm thinking of going with Mobil 1 75W-90 as I "believe" the Redline (which acts like a 75W-140) may be too much and causing too much pressure and relieving it through the vent tube? THOUGHTS? www.cardomain.com/ride/835297

I have a 94 R33 GTSt 5sp manual. Just changed gearbox oil with Redline Lightweight Shockproof. 3.5 liters. When I run the car at 3k rpm (5th gear) for 15 + minutes, the "smurfs blood" pours out of a tube located on the front portion at the top above the clutch assembly. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS? I haven't seen any posts on this issue. I didn't overfill...it started dripping out of the filler plug and I stopped, installed the filler plug. Has anyone had this occur before?

Thanks. Mequires Gold Class - the only polish I use; it is awesome. I'll check out the other areas you recommended; there is just so much info on this forum; where does one start?! I'll be reading for a while. I'm getting a new set of KSport RR Dampers/Coilovers tomorrow. Can't wait to see how they do. I have my OEMs off...does the car require realignment? Doesn't appear that it will need that. I like the setup that these monsters use. You can change coilovers out "trackside" in about 40 minutes (total)... Thanks...

G'Day! I've been a reader of this forum for a few years now; since I lived in Japan. I now have a 94 R33GTSt in the US. I'm on the East Coast, where there are "maybe" 10 Skylines total. I have been tracking the car only as it isn't street legal at this point. Would like to know what some of your guys are doing to make your "street" cars even more powerful and handle better on the tracks. www.cardomain.com/ride/835297 Please steer me in the right direction. Thanks... Jerry sends...
